INGREDIENTS
5 oz Salmon Fillet
1/3 cup Cooked Quinoa
2 tbsp Fresh Parsley
1 tsp Lemon Zest
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine the fresh parsley and lemon zest to create a herb crust.
Press the herb mixture onto the top side of the salmon to form an even coating.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon, herb-side up, in the skillet and sear for about 3-4 minutes until a golden crust forms.
Flip the salmon carefully and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the salmon reaches your desired doneness.
Warm the cooked quinoa in a microwave or small saucepan.
Plate the warm quinoa and place the seared salmon on top. Garnish with an extra sprinkle of parsley if desired and serve immediately.
